Hip-hop billionaire Jay-Z is turning the tables on high-profile attorney Tony Buzbee, accusing him of coercing a woman into falsely naming him in a r@pe lawsuit—an explosive development that has sent shockwaves through the legal and entertainment worlds.
According to newly filed legal documents, private investigator Charlotte Henderson met with the accuser, identified as Jane Doe, on February 21, 2025, at her Alabama home. During their conversation, Jane Doe allegedly admitted that Buzbee “pushed” her to include Jay-Z in the lawsuit, despite knowing he had no involvement in the alleged 2000 assault. Initially, she had only intended to sue Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Henderson stated that Jane Doe explicitly said Jay-Z was present at the party but did not assault her. However, Buzbee allegedly encouraged her to implicate the rapper, leading to a high-profile lawsuit that quickly unraveled due to inconsistencies in her claims. The case was dismissed last month.
Adding another layer of controversy, private investigator Ian Pillinger also filed an affidavit revealing that Jane Doe had recently been in a mental health facility—just 90 days before Buzbee allegedly pressured her into filing the lawsuit.
Jay-Z has since filed lawsuits against both Buzbee and Jane Doe, accusing them of extortion and malicious prosecution. Meanwhile, Buzbee has fiercely denied the allegations, calling them “flat-out false” and claiming that Jane Doe made her accusations against both Diddy and Jay-Z before his firm even took the case. He insists that documented evidence will disprove Jay-Z’s claims.
As the legal battle escalates, the case raises serious questions about the ethics of high-stakes lawsuits in the entertainment industry, the credibility of celebrity allegations, and whether powerful men are being unfairly targeted. Is this a case of justice being served, or a dangerous precedent where false accusations are weaponized for financial gain? The world is watching.
